HB-1442 · Hand-built original · American
Maple glazed salmon is an easy weeknight dinner with tender, flaky salmon coated in a sweet and savory glaze that caramelizes as it cooks.
Main ingredient: salmon
Pairs well with: asparagus, lemon butter sauce, rice pilaf, cucumber salad, roasted potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets, about (4 oz) each, skin on
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- (1/4 cup) maple syrup
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tsp)
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
Method
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Whisk the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, and ginger together in a small bowl.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side up and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden.
- Turn the fillets over, pour the maple mixture into the pan, and lower the heat to medium.
- Cook for 4 to 6 minutes more, spooning the glaze over the fish, until the salmon flakes easily and the glaze has thickened to a glossy coating.
- Rest for 2 minutes and serve with the pan glaze spooned over the top.
